Just saw a post on reddit about this yesterday and was super intrigued. Basically, you download the app onto your phone then go to the above url in a browser on your laptop, desktop computer, or smart TV, sync everyone up to the screen, and away you go! Your phone becomes your controller, and you can play local multiplayer games over WiFi with games allowing for up to 15 players.

We've tried out a couple games in the office and it's admittedly a bit buggy at times, but it's an absolute blast when you get it running good. Could be a real game changer for Friday night hangouts with friends and... it's free! So it never hurts to try.

There's also an NES emulator version where you just drag and drop roms right into the window. WHAAAAT?

Anyone try this out? Thoughts? I can definitely see the potential in this moving forward.

Wow, thanks for that! Looks interesting! Will definitely try it out this weekend! Don't see the NES Emulator though, but Cards against Humanity should keep us entertained for a bit haha. Wish they had something akin to Taboo or the 'heads up' game, only displayed on the screen while the guesser isn't looking at it.
